Spence dawns his meat cape of awesomeness for another episode. This time I talk to him about bootstrapping. Some highlights:

  • What are some of the challenges in Bootstrapping a Pastured poultry farm?
  • What would do if you were smart?
  • Are you playing with house money?
  • Don’t be afraid to work for a porkchop.
  • What’s the biggest obstacle to overcome when starting your own pastured poultry business?
  • Should you have too much chicken or not enough?
  • Plan to be adaptive.
  • Should both spouses work on the farm?
  • Spence shares the number of birds that he can comfortably take care of himself.
  • You need to have realistic expectations. Don’t try to create a multi-generational farm overnight.
  • Are you a romantic farmer?
  • Both Mike and Spence provide a perspective size and new markets.
  • Should you listen to what people want?
